armature into the corresponding angular position. These currents cease to flow as soon as this position has been reached by this other armature. lit is obvious that one armature which mightbe called the trans mitter may cause the angular movement of several receiver armatures connected to it in nected to alarm devices "L0,, w, and slide on contact-disks a, .9 connected with the axles of the receivers E E Lastly, each of the receivers 13 E is connected in parallel with an auxiliary receiver EQ, and 17 respectively, having a pointer w. lit will be understood that these receivers are provided with similar electrical coils and connections as the transmitters and receivers, andoperate in the same manner. The number of the electrically conducting and electrically non-conducting parts on the contact-disks s, 8 is disposed in view of the mutual danger positions of the stations I and ll. The sender Gr, when the turntable at the station I is rotated is brought into the corresponding position by means of the gearing a, Z), (i, so that the brushes is move over the contactdisk 3 onto electrically conducting or non.

conducting parts according to the position i of the receiver E and accordingly close or keep .open the circuit of the alarm 71),. If the alarm is sounded it'indicates that the turntable is in a dangerous position relative to that of the turntable at the station 11, '1'. c. in a position in ,which an engine starting from the turntable at the one station will cross the path ofan engine starting from the other turntable. Simultaneously as the turntabli at the station I and its sender G, are rotated the receiver E is rotated at the station H, so that here also, owing to the rotation of the disk 8,, the reciprocal position of the two turntables is indicated and the alarm w is sounded or remains silent. In order not only to indicate the presence of a danger position but also to prevent the same I provide the two auxiliary or supervisory receivers E and E which permanently indicate on a scale the position of the other turntable, whereby the movements of the turntables can be continuously supervised by comparing the position of each turntable with that of the pointer 50 at the same station. Of course any well known means for indicating simultaneously the position of the local table may be employed. Such expedients are obvious to any one skilled in the art, and for this reasonthey have been othitted in thacdrawings.

Referring now to Fig. 2, the sender and receiver of one station are each coupled with a contact disk 8 on which slide fixedly mounted contact-brushes 9 connected in series to the signaling devices 10, and The contact-disks s are provided in the above described manner with electrically conduct ing and non-conducting parts, so that the circuit of a signaling device is closed as soon as the two pairs of brushes 9 at one station are located on electrically conducting parts.

Referring to Fig. 3,21 similar arrangement is here represented, but instead of the two stations shown in Fig. 2 there are three controlling systems G E E and G E E and G E E The sender at each station is provided with two contact-disks s; the circuit of one of the alarms 20,, 20 w goes by way of fixedly mounted pairs of brushes q by way of each of these senders and each of the receiver contact-disks 8 controlled .byth'e two foreign stations, so that there are as many parallel circuits for the alarms as there are foreign stations. The mode of operation of this arrangement is the same as that described above withreference to Fig. 2. Instead of the acoustic signals '10,, w 10 I may provide optical instruments. If desired, however, these signals may be substituted by relays which in the danger positions cut 0% the current for the motors driving the turntables at the stations.
